Tanning & Premature Aging

September 11th, 2009

There is nothing worse than tanning for your skin. It is the single worst thing you can do for your skin. UV rays break down the skin and cause it to get wrinkles and age spots. Aging has to do with aging skin but the biggest factor is the sun. and if you tan in a tanning bed you are just going to be worse off. If you think that by spending ten minutes in the bed you are saving yourself an hour outside and that is better you don’t know anything about tanning. Being in a tanning bed is hundreds of times stronger than beign out in the sun so its actually worse.

And not to mention the risk of cancer your giving yourself. It has been said that if you tan regulary before the age of thirty your chances of getting skin cancer go up 75%. That is huge and skin cancer is the most common cancer as it is and now your 75% more likely to get it. If you are tanning and think its ok it is not and you need to stop. If you really want a tan glow go do a pray tan your skin will thank you for it later.
